The fact that governments lie is generally accepted today, but World War I was the first global conflict in which millions of young men were sacrificed for hidden causes. They did not die to save civilization; they were killed for profit and in the hopes of establishing a one-world government. By 1917, America had been thrust into the war by a President who promised to stay out of the conflict. But the real power behind the war consisted of the bankers, the financiers, and the politicians, referred to, in this book, as The Secret Elite. Scouring government papers on both sides of the Atlantic, memoirs that avoided the censor's pen, speeches made in Congress and Parliament, major newspapers of the time, and other sources, Prolonging the Agony maintains that the war was deliberately and unnecessarily prolonged and that the gross lies ingrained in modern "histories" still circulate because governments refuse citizens the truth. Featured in this book are shocking accounts of the alleged Belgian "outrages," the sinking of the Lusitania, the manipulation of votes for Herbert Hoover, Lord Kitchener's death, and American and British zionists in cahoots with Rothschild's manipulated Balfour Declaration.

I pre-ordered this book and the wait was worth it. I wasn't going to submit a review just yet, but I saw that the one review (as of 2/10/18) is a 1 star review allegeding "antisemitism". Clearly, the "reviewer" didn't read the book. The book is thoroughly footnoted throughout and I recall nothing to merit that claim. My guess is, due to the fact it is revisionist history, this somehow means it must be antijewish. That's about the best I can do on understanding folks who set out to lower the rating of a book they've never read with baseless allegations.(Edit: There is a section on the Balfour Declaration which attempts to - gasp - tell the past events as they actually happened! The authors do an admirable job. The section opens with a quote by distinguished Israeli professor, Shlomo Sand, who challenged "conventional lies about the past" from the "authorized agents of memory." Nothing wrong with that, right? So, I repeat, there is nothing racist about this book. And for the references to the Rothschild family - I'd hope so! They were - and remain - the most powerful family in the world. When they aren't mentioned is when one should wonder.)On to a review from someone who read the book:Initially, I felt as though the authors didn't top Hidden History with this second book, but Prolonging actually packs more facts in. The book has sections on Relief of Belgium, Ottoman Empire, Dardanelles, Gallipoli, Lusitania, Edith Cavell, Oil etc.I found the Edith Cavell section to be extremely well done. Really sad it took over 100 yrs to get all this information in one place. Same with the CRB and "relief" of Belgium.This is quality research by authors who won't be pressured into marching to the tired old "spark that lit the powder keg" tune. If you care about learning what really happened rather than entente/allied mythology, you won't regret spending the time.

The authors make an impeccably documented case, difficult to ignore, that the First World War was cruelly dragged out by the British ruling elite, for economic reasons, with the larger long-term view of permanently destroying Germany’s strategic potential. The authors surface numerous events and quotes that do not easily fit into the frameworks through which this horrendous war is typically interpreted. The references cited and topics addressed are eye-opening, whether or not one is inclined to be open to the writers’ overall thesis, which by the end of the book, is compelling. This is a thought-provoking book, outside the mainstream of university scholarship and establishment narratives, well worth having on your shelf, if you are interested in understanding this decisively important war, which killed millions, resolved nothing and smolders to this day.

This is a great book. You'll learn more actual history from reading the first chapter than from any college-level history class. I strongly suspect the one-star reviewers have never even laid eyes on a copy of this book.

Well researched, and certainly a bit outside the mainstream of history books. Historians have debated for years who was responsible for WWI, and they can't seen to make up their mind. This book does a good job of showing the stupidity and self-interestedness of certain leaders, and what a cluster eff WWI was. Highly rec'd.
